About Your Trip

Spend an action-packed half day on the water with Captain Ryan, a lifelong Florida native and professional fisherman with more than 35 years of experience running both commercial and charter trips along Florida’s Gulf Coast. This 4-hour trip is perfect for anglers looking to get offshore, catch great fish, and still be back at the dock with plenty of time left in the day.

On this trip, Captain Ryan will take you up to 15 miles into the Gulf of Mexico, where productive nearshore reefs and structure hold a variety of exciting species. Depending on the season, you can expect to target Grey (Mangrove) Snapper, Spanish Mackerel, Kingfish (when in season), and Sharks. With steady action and a variety of fish to chase, this trip is a great option for families, beginners, and anglers who want a fun offshore experience without committing to a full day on the water.

You’ll be fishing aboard Captain Ryan’s custom 32’ Sabalo sportfisher, a USCG-certified offshore vessel powered by a reliable 305 HP Cummins Turbo Diesel. This boat is built for Gulf fishing and is fully equipped with top-tier Furuno electronics, twin live bait wells, all required safety equipment, and plenty of comfortable seating. A solid fiberglass roof provides shade from the Florida sun, while the onboard cabin offers dry storage and a clean, enclosed head for added comfort during your trip. The boat can accommodate up to 6 guests, making it a great option for families or small groups.

Captain Ryan provides all rods, reels, tackle, bait, and fishing licenses, along with ice and coolers for your catch. If you have a favorite rod or setup, you’re welcome to bring your own gear as well. At the end of the trip, your catch will be cleaned and bagged dockside, so you can head home with fresh fillets ready for the grill.

Captain Ryan especially enjoys introducing new anglers to the sport and is always happy to help kids and first-timers learn the basics. Whether you’re helping a youngster catch their first snapper or battling a fast-running Kingfish, his goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and memorable day on the water.

All you need to bring is weather-appropriate clothing, sunscreen, snacks, and drinks for your trip.

With decades of Gulf experience, a well-equipped offshore vessel, and productive nearshore fishing grounds, Captain Ryan’s 4-hour half-day trip is the perfect way to experience Gulf Coast fishing and enjoy time on the water. 🎣🌊
